Site has disappeared

  • Hello, my site was a WordPress Blog, and it seems to have disappeared overnight. The site was https://www.sportscurmudgeon.com and yesterday when I tried to login to the admin page, that was blank. Today, the whole website is a blank. It’s as if my account has been erased! I really have no idea what happened. Can anyone help me out with this?

  • There is a Health Check plugin that tells you if it’s ready for 3.2.

    Thanks so much for your help here, but alas, I have a new issue.

    So what I did was a “downgraded” my blog to the best version that Yahoo could support – 3.0.4. And hooray, my blog is back up and running on the front side of things:

    https://www.sportscurmudgeon.com

    But on the back side of things, I had access to the admin page for about 1 day, and now it is once again the white screen of death. So I’m not sure what would cause one side to work and not the other. I’m hesitant to try the usual series of things that I tried when the whole blog was down, lest I lose what progress I have made!

    Any ideas on this one?

    If your host upgraded your MySQL and you’re still using the original database running 4.x, then you can’t upgrade properly to 3.2.1.

    You should create a new database (version 5) and then copy your current database into it so you can properly upgrade.

    Don’t forget to change your wp-config.php file with the new db info.

    Keeping an old version of WP is never advised. It can cause conflicts and have vulnerabilities.

    No, my host has not upgraded, that’s why I am forced to run 3.0.4, the best WordPress version that can be run with MySQL 4.

    As soon as they upgrade to MySQL 5, I will of course get the latest version of WordPress, but until then, this is what I have to use.

    So, within that framework, is there anything I can do to fix my problem with the blank admin page in the meantime?
